i think i will upgrade my kernel then.
i think i will upgrade my kernel then.
ok then open terminal
thenCode:cd ~/Downloads
then download these three filesCode:mkdir kernel
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...12035_i386.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...012035_all.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...12035_i386.deb
back to terminal
copy the three files into the dir that you madeCode:cd ~/Downloads
then cd in kernelCode:cp linux-* ~/Downloads/kernel/
now do aCode:cd ~/Downloads/kernel/
Do you see the 3 files in there ? this is important all 3 have to be in there. after you see that they are in there time to buildCode:ls
Code:sudo dpkg -i *.deb
then
thenCode:sudo update-grub
Code:sudo reboot
Now boot into your 3.2 r4 kernel
then open terminal
Code:sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
then
boot into 3,2 r4Code:sudo reboot
ddo you have wireless ?

Just a side note here, though I'm not extremely familiar with wireless (never had issues before).
I assume you're using Ubuntu 10.04.4 which came out a few days ago. This version has backported wireless drivers from Linux 3.x, so if your wireless isn't working right now then I doubt installing a new kernel would help much. Just thought I'd provide that bit of info just in case.

same thing
i get the same readout when i enter
Code:dmesg | grep b43
arghh
alight I wrote a script called lastchance if this wont work then I am out of ideas
open terminal
then paste this into your text editor (gedit)Code:gedit ~/lastchance
Code:#!/usr/bin/env bash ## ## This script will install the b43 modual to you computer ## This is only for Kernels that are 3.2 and up ############################################################ # #Making Varibles clear kern=$(uname -r) cb43=$(lsmod | grep b43); cwl$=(lsmod | grep wl ); cbrcm80211=$(lsmod | grep brcm80211); if $cb43; then sudo rmmod b43 && sudo apt-get remove --purge --assume-yes b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernal-source firmware-b43-installer; elif $cwl; then sudo rmmod wl && sudo apt-get remove --purge --assume-yes broadcom-sta-source broadcom-sta-common firmware-b43-installer; elif $cbrcm80211; then sudo modprobe brcm80211; else echo "Cool" fi clear echo "Installing Dependency\'s " sudo apt-get install --assume-yes linux-headers-$kern sudo apt-get install --assume-yes gcc sudo apt-get install --assume-yes make sudo apt-get install --assume-yes linux-libc-dev sudo apt-get install --assume-yes notify-send cd /home/$USER/ mkdir -p sandbox cd sandbox wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-015.tar.bz2 tar xjf b43-fwcutter-015.tar.bz2 cd b43-fwcutter-015 make sudo make install cd .. export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" wget http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2 tar xjf broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2 sudo b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" broadcom-wl-5.100.138/linux/wl_apsta.o cd .. sudo rm -r sandbox clear notify-send "Your Install Is Done Please Reboot"
then save and go back to the termianl
thenCode:cd ~/
thenCode:chmod +x lastchance
then rebootCode:./lastchance
if this does not work then I have no clue and everythign that I read here http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 is wrong (which I know that that is not the case)
any ho good luck

Thanks for the help guys. I never got 10.04 up and running on my mac successfully with wifi adaptors. However I did give 12.04lts a try a few days ago and I am pleased to say that everything works fine. Didn't mean to give this a bump but i thought I thought i would share for future searchers what I have found and that is 12.04 works perfect with 2010 MBPs
